lative Conanittee on Government Operations on January 9» 195v,

Bureau of Narcotics became particularly interested in this
meeting as reports from Apalachln Indicated that at least
• three narcotic violators of major Impvx^ance were present.
The following is an excerpt of a portion of CUSACK»s
testimony concerning GAMl^NO:
"CARLO OAMBINO
"FBI number 334450, New York City Police Z)epartment
B Number 12876.
"CARLO OAMBINO and his brother, PAUL (OAMBINO),
have long been known to the BureaCT of Narcotics as
important leaders in the Kafia and intimate assoclatei
of SALVATORE LUCANIA, with alias, •Iwcky* Luciano,
''During the spring of 19^8, reliable infor-
mation obtained from a Bureau of Narcotics source
indicated that CARLO GAMBINO travelled clandestinely
to Palermo, Sicily, where he Joined his brother,
PAUL (GAMBINO), who had fled to Italy to avoid pros-
ecution in a Federal alcohol tax ease. The GAMBINOS
were reported to exercise control of the narcotic
smuggling activities between the Mafia element in
Palermo and the United states on behalf of SALVATORE
LUCANIA and during 19^8, both OAMBINO brothers met
with LUCANIA at te home of their relatives in Palenr
Sicily,

"Investigation conducted l>y the Bureau of
Narcotics after 30 some odd Sicilian aliens bad
l>een smuggled into the United States aboard the SS
panonBus at the fort of Philadelphia -during Hay^
19^8« dis<k>8ed that CARLO GAMBINO was involved in ^
the aauggling of these aliens and that sc»e of
these aliens in turn had smuggled substantial quan- .
titles of heroin Into the United States as payment
for being brought into the country.
"Investigation further developed the informa-
tion that among those interested in the smuggling
of these aliens was a representative of the Santo
Sorge Trading Company « I96 First Avenue, New York
City, This company is operated by Santo Sorge ,
. an intimate associate of SALVATORE LUCANIA, and
it will be recalled that immediately prior to his
apprehension at the Apalachin meeting JOSEPH BONANNO
was observed at Palenno« Sicily^ In the company of
Santo Sorge",

Admitted: November 1, 19^0
Dlscharced: December ly, 19*^0
Department of Radiology
Part Examined: Carvlcal Spine November 28, i960
Examination of the carvical spine was made in multiple
projections* There is noted diffuse hypertropic changes
throustiout tne carvlcal spine, particularly at the level
of trie sixth and seventa carvical vertebrae • The
intervartebral disc spaces are normal, as well as the
interpedicular distances. There is no other evidence of
osteal or periosteal patnology. There is noted some
straightening of the normal carvical lordosis ♦

NY 92-657
Electrocardiogram : November 3, i960
Slnuj rhythm, rate B0*S2.
A3 compared to the record of November 2, 19^0:
In ttiC earlier record tnere is a slight degree of Grade I
AV BlociC ..loh PR-2 averaging 0^,24 sec* Today I find
one complex with a PR Interval as short as 0,20 sec*
but others vary up to 0*2b sec. and seem to average
0*22 sec, I believe that AV conduction Is subnoi-mal and
the condition is about the same*
Again there is ricnt BB Block of br-oad Si type with some
right axis deviation and again these features seem about
the same, as they were before. Again there are low R waves
in V4 particularly which strangly suggest a coronary
background as I do not believe these can be explained as
incidental to the zone of transition altnough that could
be a factor* The patient is getting digitalis but I
do not note any cnanges due to the drug Which can be
Identified specifically.
Evidence of myocardial abnormality: 2 plus to 3 plus.
Infarction: A coronary background is probably as noted
before but I am unable to see arranges which might suggest
an active process* However we must remember thax^ ajiy
foi^m of BB Block might mask such a process.
« •
Electrocardiogram ; November 9, I960
Sinus rnythm, rate 82-83^
There Is a moderate degree of right axis deviation*
Heart block of 2 kinds is present:
Grade 1 AV Block as PR-2 equals 0» 22-0, 24 sec. This
might- be due In part to digitalis but has been present
earlier and sup,ce3ts some damage in the septal region.
Rlgiit DB Block" of broad Si type was first recorded in
this scries of records on July 12, 19^0, The preceedlng
record of Marcn 2, I960 did not slow right BB Block,
However the previous records do give evidence of
arteriosclerotic heart disease with coronary changes and
a diagnosis of antaroseptal infarction was made at
one time in 1959.
MY 92-557
Some damage in tne septal region is probably Involving
both the main stem and the Right BB Branch. However the
presence of right axis deviation with a right BB
Block is further abnormalit:/ and might be evidence of
some tight sided strain. As compared to November 3, 196O:
I believe tnere is a little more sagging of the RS^-T
segment in II and again in AVP which presumably is a
digitalis effect. Chest leads show minor differences
but the overall pattern is about the same.
Evidence of myocardial abnormality: 2 plus - 3 plus:
Heart block of two types due to degenerative arteriosclerotic
diseases including coronary changes^
Electrocardiogram : November 16, i960
Sinus rhythm rate 66-70 •
Tnere is no definite axi:^. deviation.
Grade I AV Block: PR-2 cauals 0,22 sec*
Kight BB Block of broad type.
Some evidence of a digitalis effect, presumably
responsible for instance:: for the lowering of RS-T
in II. Also the drug probably makes some of the T
waves a little smaller tnan they otherwise would be«
Chest leads from thie rignt show the characteristic
evidence of late activation of the right ventricle. Beyond
this the chest leads" on the left show a little more
depression of HS-T and T in V5 and V6 which is presumably
a drug effect.
Infarction: A coronary background would appear probably
but cannot be proven by this record.
Evidence of mi^ocardial abnormality: 2 plus - 3 plus.
Electrocardiogram : November 22, i960
Sinus rhythm, rate 90.
AV conduction is normal; PR-2 equals 0.20 sec. wnich may
be relatively long for this dominant rate but still Is
technically within the normal range.
There is right axis deviation with right BB Block of
broad SI type.
NY 92-657
As compared to the last record of November I6, I96O:
In the standard limb leads the R wave is smaller in II
and the S wave broader wltn a different type of slurring
and lowering of the RS-T segments. However, the patient
is getting digitalis which might account for this RS-T
depression. Two ventricular extra-systoles are recorded
in III.
The augmented limb leads do not show any new change
except in AVF where the QRS group is smaller and the
RS-T segment still depressed and here again we may suspect
digitalis.
In the chest leads we do note changes with more definite
elevation of B3-T in V2 and V3 although in V3 the T
wave is more definitely upright. Beyond this the
broad S vaves are seen in and V6 but are simply
characteristic of the right BB Block. Depression of
RS-T in V6 may again be due to digitalis.
1. The BB Block in this case developed some time between
March 2nd, 19^0 and July 22, 1960 and this deve;Lopment
during a period of observation is strong evidence of
degenerative heart disease and not the sim.ple benign
type of Right BB Block which we find in routine health
examinations in subjects otnerwise apparently normal.
2. Depression of the T waves in chest leads from the
last is of course incidental to the BB Block of this type*
'Also elevation of RS-t seems to have been a fairly
constant feature in V2 and V3 and this series and is not
a fresh development since November 16, i960 although
it seems to be getting more marked. This has a rather
coronary appearance and might point to subandocardial
or anterior Ischemic damage but as it is not entirely
a new finding, we must be cautious in assigning
signil'icance to it.
3. Tiic low RS-T segment would rather suggest coronary
insufficiency or subandocardial iscxiemia but here we are
dealing wlx.h digitalis administration which could well
account for tnls change.
i
NY 92-6yi
The record is cnanglng and seems to be coming more
slurred wltn lower ajnplitude In some leads and this
gives the impression oT an acute degenerated change.
Nothinc is entirely typical because largely of the
BB Block but an acute process which probably is chiefly
anterior Is suggested.
Evidence of myocardial abnormality: 3 plus to 4 plus*
Infarction: An acute coronary process would appear
quite possible if not probable and may well be anterior
in location*
ElectrocardlOEram : November 2d, I960
sinus rhythm, rate 82-83 »
Grade LAV Block: PR-2 equals 0,23 sec.
Tnere is a little right axis deviation.
Tne overall appearance of this record l3 fairly
similar to the last one of November 22nd and Includes
particularly the changes due to right BB Block of
broad ol type. At present we may note the following:
The PR interval was normil on November 22nd and is now
prolonged up to 0,23 sec,^ a slight degree of Grade I
AV Block. However PR time of 0.22 sec. was noted
on November Ibtn, In any event this could well be a
Agitalls effect but the patient is getting more
digitalis day by day and actually prolongation of PR
up to 0.24 sec. was seen earlier in this series.
Therefore a damage In the septal region would appear
probable.
Today depression of RS-T in II seems less marked although
this was apparently a drug effect and would be expected
to continue.
In the Ghent leads from the right side from the
ciiarac teristic chan^c^s due to ri^ht BB Block we note
that less elevation of Ro-T especially In V2 but also in
V3. This would suggest that we are dealing with a
coronai^y Ciiange that is improving, presumably some
anterior or subandocardial Ischemia. Beyond this the T
waves are rather smaller than they were In V5 and V6 with
a low RS-T in v6 but here again of course digitalis
would account for what wc see.
6
{
NY 92-637
We are dealing with degenerative heart disease including:
A* Tae appearance of right BB Block under observation
as noted before.
B. Cnanccs in AV conduction which seem to vary although
- digitalis has been given constantly and therefore
some dajnage of the septal region would appear
probable.
C. Chainges in the R3-T level In chest leads from the
rignt v/hicn hardly can be accounted for by other
conditions although digitalis might confuse the
issue here but some anterior Ischemic condition would
appear probaole.
A drug effect which in general Is rather less now
than before except in V5 axid V6.
Elect rocardiograjn ; December 5, I96O
Sinus rnytiim, rate 72. Grade I AV Block: PR-2 equals
0.22 - 0.24 sec.
There is a tendency to rignt axis deviation.
As compared to November 2b th, 19^0 •
In tne stsoidard limb Jeads we still see the broad S waves
in I and II related to the right BB Block observed before.
In the augmented limb leads the general contour Is the
same as it was.
In tae chest leads we have a typical of late activation
in VI and beyond this. There is still some elevation
of RS-T in V2 and even in V3 but less than it was on
November 22nd, and here I suspect that we are dealing
with a coronary change. Vlhether or not It has oome
dov/n as the result of digitalis or natural evolution
cannot of course be determined but as noted, I have
suspected some Ischemic dajnage anterior in location.
Beyond 4;hl3 the chest leads seem to be fairly similar
to what they were and the same remarks apply to th3s
record as noted in regard to the preceeding one.
Evidence of myocardial abnormality: 2 plus to 3 plus.

The records further reflected that on November 1, I960,
Mr. GAMblNO was readmitted into the Flower and Fifth
Avenue Hospital because of chest pain. A rather extensive
study was done to determine the etiology of this chest
pain arid serial electrocardiograms demonstrated definite
Impairment to the circulation in his heart with progressive
damage to tiie muscles of his heart indicating degeneration
in his general cardiac status. Tne patient was treated
in the- same fashion that one would treat an acute
occlusion, however, this probably was more of a slowly
progressive sclerotic obliteration of his left coronary
vessal. He was dismissed on December 17, I960, and advised
to continue with his extremely restricted physical
program.
infarction, most probably
old.
(
NY 92-657
On January 9, I96I, he was seen again In the
oflice at which time his condition had shown some
further improvementand he was advised to spend his
winter In a warmer climate. The patient left for
Florida at that time. At present^ he is stili there
and I ain sure that his condition is still one
nQcessitating a guarded prognosis as to the future.
mmPBalso furnished the medical report
prepared b^th^uruted States Department of Health,
Education and Welfare, Public Health Service Hospital,
Staten Island, New York, were GAMBINO was admitted
for cardiac evaluation on August 18, 19^0. The
report reflects the following:
Diagnoses in this case are:
1. Arteriosclerotic heart disease
2. Congestive heart failure, compensated
at preseuo
Axigina pectoris syndrome
Diabetes mellitus, controlled by diet
Regarding your questions about wi^ether Mr* GAMBINO
can take part in deportation proceedings; it is our.
opinion that he may^be served papers and interrogated
witacNat much risk to the patient. It is possible that
under the condition of emotional excitement, Mr.
GAMBiriO will have episodes of angina pectoris pain.
These can be readily controlled by the patient taking
nitroglycerin tablets. We suggest tnat the hearings
be neid as informally as possible and that the questioning
pei'lod be no more than 20 to 30 minutes in lengtn with
a siiort rest interval between each questioning period,
ir Mr, GAMBINO would ta.:c a nitroglycerin prior to the
questioning period he may have less difficulty with his
anginal pain. A very small risk does exist that if the
patient were to become severely agitated, he might
have a myocardial infarction.
(
NY 92-657
On May 22, 19ol, S^^Hf advised SAI
that Doctor LOMBARDI, the suDj?Ws physician^
advised against recalling GAMBINO before an Immigratloji
ajid Naturalization Service hearing board. Doctor
LOr^BARDI^s statement in part is as follows:
Considering Mr^ GAMBINO •s generally poor
condition^ I would strongly advise against any such
readmlssion and reinvestigation. As you know, he
apparently was thoroughly Investigated for quite some
time at the Public Health Hospital only recently in
August^ 19o0. After his discharge from the hospital
after that investigation, his chest pain, cardiac status
and general condition worsened to a degree requiring
furtner^ hospitalization soon after, under my care,
at the Flower and Fifth Avenue Hospital for a period of
almost two months until December, I96O.
For a time during this cardiac attack, the
outcomo as far as his lire was concerned was in doubt.
Mi' previous reports to you nave indicated that his
prognosis is poor and his life expectancy la indeed
very limited. His poor condition can be easily affected
by any emotion or physical strain.
It is my opinion that any such readmlssion
for reinvestigation ^should be avoided if at all possible,
as it would increase his anxiety and possibly cause
further physical deterioration or harm.
